When the emissary is murdered by Gunn, the naive Preacher organizes a posse to unsuccessfully fight against Grimsell. While the Preacher wants to send an emissary to Laramie to bring the law to his town, Grimsell summons more than thirty gunfighters to work for him.

When Blondie sees Tom Early, he draws his gun but is shot by Tom, in self defense, and kills the gunman.

Although the preacher tries to explain that the people own the land, Grimsell is not interested in their rights. At the same time the cattle lord Grimsell arrives in town with two gunfighters, Gunn and Blondie, and tells the Preacher that he will be crossing 20,000 head of cattle through their lands and their town. The next morning, Tom rides into the town to buy supplies and sees Sam, the grocer, humiliating his employee Jo. He rides to his farm, where he finds that his wife Alice has recently died and his son Tom Early Jr., who disagrees with taking up arms, is working alone. In 1886, the gunman and gambler Tom Early returns to his homeland to settle down, but he is rejected by his community.

Six guns to glory
